10 "The day is coming" - God's Decree - "When there will be no more war. None. I'll slaughter your war horses and demolish your chariots. 11 I'll dismantle military posts and level your fortifications. 12 I'll abolish your religious black markets, your underworld traffic in black magic. 13 I will smash your carved and cast gods and chop down your phallic posts. No more taking control of the world, worshiping what you do or make. 14 I'll root out your sacred sex-and-power centers and destroy the God-defiant.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Micah 5:10-14
Commentary on Micah 5:7-15
(Read Micah 5:7-15)
The remnant of Israel, converted to Christ in the primitive times, were among many nations as the drops of dew, and were made instruments in calling a large increase of spiritual worshippers. But to those who neglected or opposed this salvation, they would, as lions, cause terror, their doctrine condemning them. The Lord also declares that he would cause not only the reformation of the Jews, but the purification of the Christian church. In like manner shall we be assured of victory in our personal conflicts, as we simply depend upon the Lord our salvation, worship him, and serve him with diligence.
